Hey! We here at Qt Software are busy working on all sorts of stuff. Things are moving forward though. For example, I took the plunge and integrated the Cocoa port into the “main” branch over the weekend. It’s a massive undertaking to do a submit that touches many files and get everything working. In the […]

Today I was reminded of this great TV show that ran when I grew up; it was Hannibal saying “I love it when a plan comes together”. In this show you often saw the various people on the team do completely separate and often just weird things and in the end you saw how the […]

Earlier this month, we released the single, largest release of Qt since the 4.0.0 release two years ago. Qt 4.4.0 is the result of 10 months of hard work by the Trolls, including numerous distractions. And while it’s being digested by our clients and users, we’re working on Qt 4.4.1, which will include fixes for […]

Its been a while since I introduced ‘Vng’. Vng is still under production and innovation is happening 🙂 As a quick intro can be read here, which will tell you that vng is a version control system made to be usable by humans. So, what has happened since my last blog. Well, I’ve been polishing […]

That’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for… or dreading. We’ve worked for long months getting it done and you’ve all been asking for it.

Hello, Some of you might know the generic geographical map widget Marble that is part of KDE 4. As already stated in Torsten Rahns’s Blog I started porting Marble to Windows CE. Since Marble is a pure Qt application and does not rely on OpenGL the port is pretty straightforward. The main problems were memory […]

It been almost two years now, that Trolltech decided to open a Berlin office in Adlershof. When we started (I include myself as Karsten and I were the first freshly hired guys), there was a lot of build-it-up spirit. You can find early Trolltech Labs entries by Espen showing you how it all started. Since […]

Programming in groups requires you to use a source revision system. Its a fact; not doing it would be like crossing the north pole in your sunday clothes, it won’t be very successful. This shows; as long as people have collaborated in writing software, there have been systems to support this. I count 32 such […]

You may have remembered that in the past I’ve talked about some of the development of 64-bit applications on Mac OS X. The gist of it is that Apple changed their position on supporting 64-bit Carbon, the library we depend on for running Qt GUI applications. It became obvious early on that Apple wasn’t going […]

Its been some time since my last blog; I’ve been quite busy and didn’t have a whole lot of time for KDE/KOffice and other fun things. I have been following Norwegian courses in the evenings and the little spare time I had left went to doing non-computer things. (Snowboarding is even more fun if its […]
